He kept everyone there, including the corpse of Stock-broker Edward Tracy (Jack Lee), which sat upright in grisly electrified rigidity and a Panama hat throughout most of the play. Inspector Hannen questioned the late Mr. Tracy's lovely wife (Dorothy Peterson) and his partner (Edward Pawley), who was also Mrs. Tracy's lover. After the dark murder of a clerk (J.
